This is the first chance we had to review McKillop U/W underwear. I was really excited. Ryan has done great work in the area of jocks. He’s taken a classic pair of men’s underwear and made it his own. I love to see this from a company.
They have been around for over a year. He’s taken jocks and added colors and one of the best pouches I have worn in some time. The pouch is stretchy and fits you like a glove. This was my favorite part of the review.
The construction is also top notch. You can tell time and care was used and they wanted to make undies that last and fit awesomely. The materials will hold up for every day use, a night on the town, or even worn during sporting events!
The pouch on these is made of mesh. Mesh is a big trend in men’s underwear. I don’t see that trend disappearing soon since it has really taken off. I loved that he uses all colors of mesh and not just black. He’s stepped outside the box and created something great. The mesh, however, was also my only problem. You may say the seam would be the problem but he’s thought ahead and put the seam on the outside. Very smart thinking, if you ask me! The mesh simply annoyed me throughout the day. I am not sure if it was a personal preference or the materials.
I wore them all day and at certain times, not all the time, it sort of made things uncomfortable. These maybe the perfect date pair if you are looking for something sexy and fun. I will wear them but not for all day use.

Check out these hot new styles from Rufskin with the introduction of their California Vintage Line. The line is inspired by California college sport history and is evident in the sporty cuts and collegiate colors of the t-shirts and underwear.
Each piece in the line is named after a location or a city in California. Underwear styles range from euro-cut jock straps to various cuts of briefs and boxer briefs. Tees and tanks and a unique wrestling singlet round out the line. The college inspired design is most obvious in the color options. The blues, greys, whites and pops of color like yellow remind me of old school sports team jackets.
My favorite standouts from the line are the Carmel brief and San Onofre boxer breif. Here are the specs on each.
Carmel brief:
Side “power mesh” panel brief with classic strip waist band with CA vintage label
- Fabric is knitted 95% Cotton 5% Spandex
- Color choices are Grey with white panel, Royal blue with yellow panel (my favorite), and all white.
San Onofre boxer brief
Rufskin’s latest boxer-brief with button fly and contrast stitching with underlining cut in the back.
- Fabric is knitted 95% Cotton 5% Spandex
- Color choices are White or Navy.
I absolutely love this line and think it’s going to be hugely popular. The color choices and styling will appeal to a wide audience and will look good with just about anything. The cuts give the line a feel of both preppy and sporty. The panels of color and piping details give the line just the dose of fun that it needs. The wrestling singlet aside, I could see myself wearing these all the time (not much time to wrestle nowadays) . Rufskin continues their tradition of style and sexiness with this line. Can’t wait to try them out!
You can check out these or all the great underwear at the Rufskin site!

I get another chance to review Equmen! This brand has been around for about two years and seems to be ever growing. They were one of the first in shaping/performance underwear. The purpose of the brand is to make you look slimmer and give you better posture.
I first have to apologize for the lateness of this review. I received them in early November and the package got misplaced. I had to search the house to find it, which I did and all was well.
The two pairs I’m reviewing are the singlet (tank) and trunk. I was glad to try out the singlet. The fit is very well and does the same as the t-shirt. It really does give you great posture. When I wear it, I notice a difference in how I stand. The shirt makes you stand straight as well. It’s nice because there are times when I don’t have the best posture. The other great thing about it is that no one notices you have it on. It’s your secret!
The trunks were very well fitting as well. I normally don’t care for trunks/boxer briefs but these were well made and fit everything snuggly. I wore them out to a busy day and they kept their shape and gave me great support.
